Chapter 452

It gradually became quiet outside the mansion, and it seemed that even the people watching the excitement had left, making the surrounding area return to its tranquility.

The sky gradually darkened, and the night fell again.

The following morning, the news that Zhao Amamn was taken to Jingzhao by the yamens also reached the Marquis Mansion. This message was sent by Gu Zezhi.

Qin Zening once again applauded Gu Zezhi as he inwardly slapped the table and shouted his praise: no wonder Gu Zezhi said at that time he could claim some interest first, it turns out this is the interest!

He smiled and asked Qin Jiu, "Xiao Jiu, do you want to go to Jingzhao to watch the fun?"

Logically speaking, this murder case should have been sent back to the place of origin for trial; however, when Li Jinzhu was captured before, the emperor had issued an oral decree stating that this case should be tried in the capital; thus, after Zhao Aman was arrested and brought to justice, the case would still have been tried in Jingzhao.

Qin Zening looked at Qin Jiu without blinking, he knew that his sister had lived a hard life with Zhao Aman in the past few years. Zhao Aman often beat and scolded her, leaving scars all over his sister's body. He was afraid that these scars would not fade away in this lifetime...

Qin Jiu put down the teacup and met Qin Zening's eyes with a few cautious glances before saying. "I'll go."

For Qin Jiu, the couple Zhao Aman and Li Jinzhu were nothing. She did not even exchange a few words with them, but she knew that they were the reason for the original knot in her heart.

If the original owner were still alive, she would want to see them convicted of their crimes and receive the punishment they deserve.

She should go on behalf of the original owner.

Qin Jiu took the carriage to Jingzhao.

Although the weather was cold and there was still fine snow in the air, it still could not stop those busybodies from wanting to watch the excitement. The entrance to Jingzhao's public hall was surrounded by people on the inner and outer floors.

When Qin Jiu arrived, Jing Zhaoyin and Hu Mingke had already opened the court and brought Li Jinzhu and Zhao Aman to the court.

As the saying goes, killing pays off one's life; this truth has never changed through age.

When their lives were at stake, Li Jinzhu and Zhao Amman's former marital relationships had long been forgotten. They only wanted to survive, and both sides blamed each other for murder. They also brought back the ugly things of the past.

Li Jinzhu said that it was Zhao Aman who killed the old woman, and everything was Zhao Aman's idea, including switching their daughter with the Marquis' daughter, even after the old woman's death, the couple absconded, which was also Zhao Aman's proposal.

Zhao Aman cursed Li Jinzhu for being useless and unable to support their family. If it were not for her, their entire family would have starved to death long ago. She said that Li Jinzhu was just like their daughter, a white-eyed wolf, and even though he was the one who committed the murder, he still pushed the blame on her.

To escape the punishment, the husband and wife started fighting and blaming the charges against each other. This scene made the people around them sigh as they commented to themselves how the couple, "dog bites dog," "husband and wife were birds in the same forest that fly separately when disaster strikes," and so on.

"Bang!"

The couple's verbal abuse was interrupted by the gavel's heavy slam.
